Tips

Backing Up

Safeguard your important documents

We probably all know that we should back up our data, documents, music, pictures and videos but not all of us know how to do this or why to do it.

What’s a Backup?
A Backup is IT language for making a copy of something on your computer. For example, you may want to take a copy of all your pictures that you have on your computer, so that if anything should happen to your PC, you still have your photos. When you take a copy of these files you are “backing up” the photos or files.
Why Do a Backup?
Doing a backup or taking a copy of photos or files can be really easy to do and ensures that if anything should happen to your PC, you will not lose those files and pictures that are so important to you and your family.
How to Do a Backup?
One of the easiest ways to backup, is to copy your files onto a usb pen drive or stick. You simple insert the usb stick into the usb port on your computer, open windows explorer and copy the data that you want to back up. There are also cloud or remote back up functions including iCloud, Google Drive and OneDrive where you can copy files and photos to a remote location. The advantage of this is that you don’t have to remember where you put the usb stick!

What our customers say

Alison has been my absolute techy lifesaver. The fact that she's a bloody nice person who is always willing to help, no matter how daft my question, is fabulous!

When I first started working on the business, having been used to top tech from my job, I was so frustrated by standard home equipment. It was slow, cumbersome, and often unable to load the websites I need to use. A quick chat with Alison, a visit to Romney with the offending lap under my arm and a very quick diagnosis followed....yep, the equipment was shit! However, I was prepared to spend £1k on a new laptop. Alison said that wasn't necessary at all and popped in a bigger processor. Brilliant and saved me £900 which, when we all want to make a profit, truly demonstrates her customer centricity and honesty.

Since then we have moved over to Teams, using Alison as the service provider who has held my hand every step of the way.

I would not hesitate to recommend Alison to anyone who wants to upgrade their tech or has service issues with their current provider.

Thank you so much for all your help. As soon as I do need a new laptop, I know exactly where to come.

A very grateful Kate
